Gulls - Veggie - 28-11-2022
Whilst stopped at traffic lights today, I spotted a gull (looked like a small Herring Gull) on the grass roundabout. It was treading the grass with its big webbed feet, doing a little dance, then probing the grass and fallen leaves with its beak. After the second dance, the gull pulled up a huge earthworm - which didn't live for long afterwards.
Having eaten the worm, the gull went back to stamping and shuffling.
Unfortunately, the lights changed then and I had to drive away.
Never seen this before - fascinating technique.

I wonder if that makes it sound like it's raining?

Well done, Sarriss. That could be the same bird that i saw today!
